That's because he's talking to you. He's not gonna tell you he despises you to your face. But secretly he wonders: "why does he get more than me, im smarter than him!!". This is then bottled up under 10 psi of press

The problem is that when you share your salary people who make less than you start despising you and people who make more than you start looking down on you. It's less of a corporate conspiracy but more "this is why you can't

You didn't reconcile it. Guns were foreign and unfamiliar to you so your fear them. Encryption is familiar to and understood by you so you are okay with it. They are just tools. They can be used or abused. You are not as rational as yo

i don't think empathy is an appropriate word for this. It is defined as the ability to share the feelings of others. While in this case, what you want the robots to know is what most people would call 'common sense'.
